WABASH, Ind. (WANE) – Indiana State Police said a former bookkeeper for the Wabash County Clerk’s Office stole around $75,000 over two years by depositing some of the clerk’s office’s funds into her own personal bank account.

Chamberlain faces the following charges:

Theft (three counts)

Official misconduct

Corrupt Business Influence
